During the journey to parenthood, parents may encounter some problems that, in many cases, affect all areas of the couple's life, the health of the parents and the fetus, and the quality of the future relationship with the child. Infertility is considered a serious setback for the couple. When faced with an infertility problem, most couples go through a series of emotional changes that can have very negative effects on both the relationship and the partners. Experiences of depression and anxiety are among the most common responses to this condition. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health problem that affects millions of women worldwide. Sexual violence during pregnancy is of particular concern because of the potential adverse effects on maternal and fetal health. Perinatal affective disorders and/or physical illness have a significant impact on parental mental health and are linked to negative outcomes for the parent-fetus relationship. The purpose of the symposium is to highlight the complexity of prenatal research and intervention. Four topics have been chosen to discuss current research perspectives in the perinatal period, providing valuable insights for improving parental assessment and intervention in different settings. In the first contribution, Tacchino and Abate will focus on the narratives of infertile couples to explore emerging themes and their latent dimensions. In the second contribution Paradiso and colleagues will present a systematic review of studies investigating factors associated with IPV during pregnancy. In the third contribution Fontana and colleagues will focus on the interconnections of prenatal maternalattachment, couple dynamics, and alexithymia with perinatal affective disorders. In the last contribution, Della Vedova and colleagues will present the results of emotional health screening in pregnant women with autoimmune rheumatic diseases.

Abstract
During the journey to parenthood, parents may encounter some problems that, in many cases, affect all areas of the couple's life, the health of the parents and the fetus, and the quality of the future relationship with the child. Infertility is considered a serious setback for the couple. When faced with an infertility problem, most couples go through a series of emotional changes that can have very negative effects on both the relationship and the partners. Experiences of depression and anxiety are among the most common responses to this condition. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health problem that affects millions of women worldwide. Sexual violence during pregnancy is of particular concern because of the potential adverse effects on maternal and fetal health. Perinatal affective disorders and/or physical illness have a significant impact on parental mental health and are linked to negative outcomes for the parent-fetus relationship. The purpose of the symposium is to highlight the complexity of prenatal research and intervention. Four topics have been chosen to discuss current research perspectives in the perinatal period, providing valuable insights for improving parental assessment and intervention in different settings. In the first contribution, Tacchino and Abate will focus on the narratives of infertile couples to explore emerging themes and their latent dimensions. In the second contribution Paradiso and colleagues will present a systematic review of studies investigating factors associated with IPV during pregnancy. In the third contribution Fontana and colleagues will focus on the interconnections of prenatal maternalattachment, couple dynamics, and alexithymia with perinatal affective disorders. In the last contribution, Della Vedova and colleagues will present the results of emotional health screening in pregnant women with autoimmune rheumatic diseases.
